Sub woofer naive question day

I am a geezer and have had decent audio equipment for better than fifty years. But have never owned a sub woofer. What is the proper way to implement the speaker into a system with an integrated amp that does not have a specific sub tap? The amp has a line out and a pre out.

When it comes to sub(s) two is better than one and one is far better than none. REL has lot's of videos as doe Youtube.

If I can ask a related question, when an amp has a “sub out” does that connection normally cover the entire frequency spectrum or just the lower end? Maybe there is no “usually”?

"Sub out" indicates a low-frequency output, intended to be fed directly to a powered subwoofer.

Speaker level inputs on the subwoofer would be the best way to go.  A lot of good subwoofers have speaker level inputs.

Get a REL sub. It connects to the speaker taps with a Neutrik Speakon cable. No need for a specific sub tap.
